<\/p>\nManufacturers require it and we greatly encourage proper inspection of equipment. We\u2019re in an industry that requires countless tools, systems, products, PPE, on-site safety systems, and more. With all of these moving parts it\u2019s important to make sure everything is in working order before bringing it to a job site.<\/p>\n
Here are a few of the essential items that we encounter on a day to day, and the inspection tips that can keep your gear working day after day. As recommended, all inspections should be documented for future reference. In our first post of this 2-part series, we\u2019ll focus on fall protection and safety equipment.<\/p>\n
